However, if your attacks continue for several weeks or even months, you should consult with a doctor. At DISC, our team of orthopedic surgeons strives to always provide the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/spine-treatments\/\">best treatment options<\/a> for lumbar radiculopathy and sciatic pain to patients in Arizona. We always recommend conservative options first based on your sciatic pain and diagnosis. These may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rest<\/li>\n<li>Over-the-counter or prescription pain medication<\/li>\n<li>Cold and hot compresses on the affected area<\/li>\n<li>Physical Therapy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We may recommend therapeutic injections, such as lumbar transforaminal steroid injections, to deal with inflammation and especially intense pain. If episodes become frequent or begin to interfere with your daily life, back surgery for sciatica pain relief may be your best option.<\/p>\n<p>The surgeons at DISC are experts in minimally invasive laser spine treatment for lumbar radiculopathy as well as more complex, traditional spine surgeries. Our expert surgeons also treat sciatica with a least invasive spine procedure called an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/spine-treatments\/selective-endoscopic-discectomy\/\">Endoscopic Discectomy<\/a>. This procedure has many patient benefits that minimize their time away from work and their active lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary\"
